The world’s top five emerging economies – Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa – are holding their annual summit virtually.
The meeting is taking place against a complex geopolitical backdrop.
From the war in Ukraine and trade disputes between China and the U-S, to a global economy trying to recover from the fallout of Covid-19.
Chinese President Xi Jinping – who’s hosting this year’s summit – has criticised the West’s handling of the Ukraine crisis and called for co-ordination to prevent disruptions to the global economic recovery.
But role can BRICS play?
Presenter: Hashem Ahelbarra
Guests:
Einar Tangen, Senior Fellow at the Taihe Institute
Sanusha Naidu, Senior Research Fellow at the Institute for Global Dialogue, a South African think tank focusing on China and Africa
Nancy Snow, Visiting Distinguished Professor at Tsinghua University’s Schwarzman Scholars programme

BRICS seems to be doing what needs to be done and what’s right,rather than taking sides like what Racist War Mongering Imperialistic West Hegemony …
The West provoked Russia, encircling, pushed Russia into this proxy war by the West, then accuses and blames Russia … Classy culture …
What happen now with Bricks now what a big joke
using economic strategy as a weapons of war is not a fair game, so Brics currency & a new bank reserve should be a priority now. enough off this sanctions bulls*** many countries suffered of this
Assalammualaikum.
Thanks because understand what i mean. 🤓
I’m muslim country and i not support for war very important is a PEACE ✌🏽 for all country.
InSha’ALLAH
Sanctions don’t work, but then lets talk about how they create political turmoil for the powers that be, so maybe they do actually work…
It’s not a surprise due to bulling by white eurocentrics driven by former mighty might of colonial power unfortunately.
Can we trust CCP?
Capitalism talking about humanitarian is a joke.
Egypt is in Africa , too .
make people’s life better. live, eat and etc.
the huge difference here comparing BRICS and The west is: BRICS countries have their own political system. The west: only democracy here, and also we are against non-democracy. This is why BRICS will do better. Neutral respect for each other!
CCP, the singular only world goal, is to infiltrate and eventually dominate. The CCP 4 Prong Practice: Divide/Conquer/Kill/Enslave. CCP strategy: Politically promise whatever is asked until it is time to ‘Rug Pull’. Then, destroy that country, which made the critical error to ask.
Go BRICS.
The west and the third world he said. He needs to look around.
Dry sit in economic 1220
The main objective of bricks is for economic developments not war threats and sanctions
Do you know that there is ISN’T A SINGLE Foreign Nation thriving as a result of American intervention or American Democracy.
Not one.
Infrastructure in ruins, Poverty,
Death,Destruction AND Disease for the people BUT Riches for the leaders of those Countries is ALWAYS the result of American Democracy and Intervention complete with Staged Photo Ops with the American Faux Investors.
It’s interesting that nearly all of the BRICS, as well as those wanting to join, have authoritarian leaders. This seems mostly like a pushback against western hegemony. These leaders don’t like being accused of human rights violations with the threat of economic sanctions hanging over them.
Western propaganda with have you think that BRICS are the bad guys while they kill and destroy their own citizens within💉⛈🌈
BRICS is the best weapon to stop western Sanctions.. we all know well how western love to abuse Sanctions on others country that not following their order…
No one can forever dictate to others. The wisdom flactuates from one nation to another, and it’s a greatest weapon a nation can have.
And in the end the final WW3 NATO vs BRICS ,i don’t see any winner after this…
Me either, just millions of people losing their lives…smh
☝️☝️☝️🤓
there is no war unless west attacks.
They’re all so corrupt and all hate free speech urghhh
Just do the opposite of the imperial globalist capitalist system
Einar and Sanusha saved this discussion, but you get more objectivity from CGTN or RT than Al Jazeera nowadays, BRICS is not all about Russia and China, stop self projecting American exceptionalism and habits on everyone else 🙈 I stop listening when the presenter opens his mouth, western propaganda is trash.
Btw BRICS is better than G7, come 2024, there will be no more europe left without energy from Russia.
Sadly 90% of BRICS countries are broke, corrupt and stupid.
Major obstacle is the seared conscience or no conscience of the United States. No matter what the lady from Virginia says, it’s the United States that has to completely change it’s mental aptitude with their democracy theology.
Sanisha’s comments were most salient
World can live and survive without West.
West is cunning and evil
I thought the brown man lost the election already.
It’s just another paid vacation for world leaders to hang out with their mistresses before they go to the G20 meeting.
The Bricks under Dominance of influence by China in only stand in one day of term as predicted by Prophecy in the book of prediction .All because the Imam Mahdi will lead the world into New Dominance of Power New order before the end time/Doom day .Do believe of it up to unbelievers.
What can they actually do for the whole world because when the world needs saving they cry out for the AMERICANS 🇺🇸
what rock do u live under?
16:45 what exactly has china done that’s so great as far as covid, did I miss something ? Is this man drinking the coolaid or is there truth to his words that china has effective solutions for economic issues such as climate change when they are full tilt into coal?
Aby USA mohla prežit musi spravit najviac zlo čo je to v rozpore z Činou a hlavne v EU mentalne nepochopitelne
Black Africans become, AGAIN, the consumers.😮
komečne sa odblkobalo to čo nemecko ukradlo v druhe svetove vojne
As an American all this comes down to is War. Money rules the world, what you dont think these countries wont go to war with America to protect their economic wealth. My eyebrow is up looking at India, i swore they were an allie country. Yes our president needs to stop giving away money to a war we arent fighting. China has been buying countries with resources. I would feel different if America was at the table but we are not and thats the threat.
The first speaker is obviously knowledgeable and well-spoken. Whether I agree, or disagree, with his points, I can still listen to him easily, pay attention, and could have a dialog. Many speakers are not like this, and it usually becomes confrontational, and/or nothing is accomplished. I wish we had more people, from EVERY country, that better tried to understand the situation with ALL countries, as these 3 do. We would be better off if they were part of the “negotiations”, as compared to political hacks who have their own agenda in mind.
Brics: authoritarian, ultra corrupt, petro-state, or one election dispute away from an all out civil war
None
its funny how bias they are.. NOW TALKING about CLIMATE CHANGE, IDEOLOGY, FOOD, and INFLATTION. DID UNITED STATES of AMERICA considered that when they OPRESS other countries in the name of their BROKEN WORLD PEACE and ELIMINATION of EVIL – LOOK what happened in IRAQ, VENEZUELA, LIBYA, SYRIA, and UKRAINE – ALL IN THE NAME OF OIL, GOLD AND POWER!! Look at those countries now! Where is the PEACE? After U.S. gets what hey want – they just left those countries in chaos, because CHAOS and WAR is beneficial for the USA WHO IS EVIL NOW???
Lets not forget an Al jazeera reporter was murdered by israelian authority and they can get away with it because they are linked with the west. Watch youtube channel *redacted* ukraine regime is a proxy war that nato/america started china is dumping the USD as corrupt america is ripping each other apart
The mess the world is in is because of the aggressiveness of American policies by making wars, conflicts, interfering in many countries affairs, killing the presidents, prime ministers and high ranked individuals not obeying Washington orders and demands, punishing and sanctioning countries regardless the damage they coarse to that country population, until US is not change they policies will be trouble, wars, famine, suffering, deaths, and more destruction and instability for peace and democracy ( but not a American of Western democracy style ).
look china and russia are competing with USA and that is understandable but we all know these two country run on dictatorship which people don’t want thats y people love to live in USA ..week country like india and pakistan are just like rolling ball trying to play nice on both side but i’m pretty sure once Bric fails they will be thrown under the bus first and get slaughter by the west . Saudi Arabia on other hand is in the same bucket like china and russia but they heavily relay on US weapons . I really won’t give this to much attention as all country included in Bric have trust issues by their own people and rest of the world . They need to understand in this ara freedom is valued more than gold to people than empty promises and hope they are trying to give other nations ,thats y US is silent ..hope this help people worried about Bric nonsense.but do not think change is not coming it is but mark my words they have started it and we will take it to the finished line and all credit will be given to USA.. simple logic like compare andriod vs apple .. andriod give u lot of features but when apple lunches the same feature people go crazy ..bric is Android and Us is Apple and it is yet to announce the stolen copy of andriod making it more presentable and eye catching
All currencies are fiat. Gold is king.
what this means for Americans…..Soon you will be going to China-mart, i mean Walmart, and the prices will be so high you’ll think you’re are Bloomingdale’s..
Os BRICs tem ganhado cada vez mais
espaço e influência na economia global.
De acordo com a empresa de pesquisa
macroeconômica Acorn Macro
Consulting, o bloco BRICS atualmente
responde por 31,5% do Produto Interno
Bruto (PIB) global, ultrapassando as
economias do G7, que representam
30,7%.
This all well and good but Xi and Putin are one of the elites. These people are all in on it to bring about the new world order. But in saying that if they are against the west then i am happy with that. The South African leader are still placeholders for the imperialist.
The presenter is pretty aggressively pushing a more confrontational, dangerous narrative. Luckily the panel chosen is very open minded and continued to direct the conversation in a positive direction. I agree generally that the news of BRICS discussions could be a welcome presence in the global conversation. If these countries can agree to do business with currencies alternative to USD, all the better. Maybe this is a step toward an eventual global decentralized encrypted currency. Next is to build green technology for such a token, ensure equal access, and implement widely. Let’s hope major groups such as G7 and BRICS can focus on this instead of ideology and nationalism. This is needed now more than ever.
These people are lies 😠 there own people are afraid of them they the ones who take advantage of there people . Greed m evil they are criminal’s
I have a weird feeling that everybody is miss reading the situation. I don’t think the US is getting weaker. I believe do US, China, and India are getting stronger because of the conflict between Russia and Ukraine.
Game over new beginning
Good for BRICS, keep expanding, cut off the US dollar stop US hedgemony.
If the EU and US combined their currencies it would annihilate BRICS’ plans.
Future Belongs to BRICS only💪💪💪💪💪
The gentleman from Beijing said “People have a right to question their leaders.” But you had better not do that in China or Russia unless you want to go to jail. Also, the woman from South Africa was talking about “Africa’s access to food,” but Ukraine was supplying a lot of food to them and other countries before Russia invaded, destroyed half their crops, and refused to let them ship out most of the rest, causing massive shortages worldwide, so there’s that…
World trade is necessary. We need to figure out a way to do it fairly for everyone. Technology should be shared freely with developing countries to help them become self sufficient, not indebted to their “saviours” (eastern or western!) And any country that invades their neighbors should be stopped. If Russia thought that there were atrocities being committed in Ukraine they should have brought it to the UN, not just attack because of rumors and lies.
Great news let’s hope this finally puts an end to th US’s international meddling. The world will become. Much more stable and safer place.
Biden is incredibly stupid. He’s the sole reason the Dollar is on the path to complete failure.
Hope BRICS succeeds. Honestly I don’t like USA. USA has corrupt morals and it’s not good for any normal human. No wonder it’s working hard to infest its immorality to African nations. I hope BRICS will recruit more African nations and come up with one currency.
India’s got their finger in every pie. Playing both sides. True diplomacy.
Lol the world is gonna trust a currency from a bunch of countries high on corruption index. Would any of you put your money in a bank known to be full of shady corrupted managers.
I’m Brazilian and I may be wrong but I see the U.S. as more corrupt than China.
But we should put in a bank that is known to seize the depositors’ assets ?
We wish you TOTAL SUCCESS in all your endeavours. May the Almighty and Good Luck accompany you from now on. Millions if not billions of people are watching with immense expectation and hope. BEST ALWAYS !!!! 🙏
ACHO BASTANTE INTERESSANTE COMO FASCISTAS E COMUNISTAS NA POLITICA INTERNA SAO TAO INIMIGOS UNS DOS OUTROS E SE ODEIAM TANTO, MAS NA POLITICA EXTERNA TEM EXACTAMENTE A MESMA IDEOLOGIA.
ALGUEM REPAROU QUE NA POLITICA EXTERNA NAO HOUVE NENHUMA ALTERACAO, APOS A TOMADA DE POSSE DO LULA ???
O BRICS É APENAS UM EXEMPLO DAQUILO QUE DIGO: UMA UNIAO ENTRE PAISES COMUNISTAS, E PAISES AUTORITARIOS DA EXTREMA DIREITA !!! VERY STRANGE !!!
US is busy with lgbt 😅😅😅😂😂😂
russia and china has the most to gain out of BRICS…
Surely there has to be vibrant economic block to stand up against “Bully Boys Club”( Fascist USA and her Fascist allies)
That’s what China does also. Look at the southeast Asian nations that are being used like a cash cow. Chinese build cheap infrastructure in these nations claiming its for the better good but hire only Chinese to work at the factories other than the indigenous people themselves. China is only doing it for Chinese. Ask a colored person how living in China really is.
Yes, everybody is looking after themselves. Africa stands with their commodities and look after Africa
Hypocracy, Ideology is being used as a cover to the imperialism of one of their members who has attacked another country and they are profiting from it. On one hand they talk of world problems of food and fuel while ignoring the fact that it is being exasperated by one of their members. THey criticize the 50 countries that are opposing Russian imperialism. THe west is painted as the bad guy for opposing one of their members attacks another sovereign state which has caused many of the shortages they claim to be concerned about. If they want to reduce the problem tell their member who they are cozing up to and helping to finance to stop their illegal war. Periodically they are honest and state what is acrtually happening they act for the own interest, not the interest of those lacking food or other needs. The fastest and easiest thing they can do to solve some of the world problems is to pressure their member to get out of another country’s territory. If they want to be taken seriously then be serious.
NATO is the aggressor in Ukraine. There have been 260 armed conflicts since WW2, USA has been heavily involved in 212 of them. The USA has over 800 military bases around the world.
It doesn’t require a PhD to see who the real warpigs are.
Gradually more and more, they develop their ties❤
👍👍👍BRICS
Oh wow this is awesome, so how do they communicate with each other. Do they use English to communicate, or do they use Madrin or Russian or Portuguese or Hindi or Xhosa or Zulu. I’m just curious
Whatever language they want, there’ll be no uni-lingual yanks there trying to tell everybody what to do.
@D. Wayne unfortunately that is not inline with the biblical prophecy…
sure go buy Huewi phone, hahahaha its sure better than iphones
It appears like Monkeys could become the BRICS reserve currency. China is negotiating with Sri Lanka for lots of them to help stabilize this proposed currency.
Who the f womanizing economic resources I geopolitical sphere? Who is the real aggressor right now? The country that is loosing it’s singular hegemony in economic and political perspective. Of course decadent and poor leadership cost in a world where competition is super tough. The action of US is logical but it doesn’t change the course of development. China and India and if EU is clever enough will be sharing power with USA. Better to get used to it😮
All lies, europe not buying from russia oil but from usa, paying more that inflation, usa don’t care about any country, i hope usa falls soon
Answer: None. They’re a bunch of poor countries relying on China who is trying to copy America’s innovation but with bad quality.
Honestly thought the ruble was going to get hit bad, instead we are seeing the fall of the USD. But one thing I knew was a bad idea for Bidens administration using the banking system to starve Russia. This was a wake up call for other major countries especially the non NATO countries. The swift system is meant as a tool for trade not meant to be weaponized.
Actually , 81 angels fit on the head of a pin , and i·ve eaten better than i ever ate in Toronto since i came back home(!) .
Pandemic is history.
The US was not perfect as it tried to organize the world. But mark my words, those celebrating BRICS will end up regretting a world ran by invaders, slavers, racists, and dictators. You think they will be nice to you?
My god you are stupid.
China alone. Can destroy the bricks – ther are intimidating India and the Philippines – they are killing its own Muslim populations on xianjiang
They are deploying police around the world to praise Xi Xiang ping
China alone is the threat to the world .
Don’t let them fool you . They only care about China and nothing else
Before the communist party had its own checks and balances . Now that Xi has declared himself king their is no one to challenge him
A 1 man show controlling China – I don’t think so
They will fail
They lost me the moment they started talking about global warming. Granted, they didn’t say _”man made”_ so I suppose they deserve the benefit of the doubt. Man made global warming being a canard designed to cause arguments, look ridiculous, and generally distract from *_real_* environmental issues. Environmentalism is a highly corporate political pressure valve movement meant to guaranty that the corporations are never truly curtailed in their plundering and ultimate destruction of the planet. It’s mind blowing that people can’t figure this out yet.
This is just more globalism.
Jihadist Qatar is salty

Eliminate gain.
Share.
are these countries considered economic powerhouses?
How Did racist India and ‘slave’ lying Brazil Entered the bRCiS
What I like about bricks it’s about economy not military and terrorism I wish more countries can join
Is BRICS the 21st century version of the Bandung Conference?
Zero plus zero plus zero plus zero plus zero is equal to zero. Russia and China are are demographic disaster areas. This is their last generation as major geopolitical players. South Africa is becoming a failed state, it’s anti-white policies are driving out its most skilled workers. Brazil is highly dependent on foreign investment, and the retirement of the baby boomers is drawing down the world’s supply of available capital. India is the only BRICS country with good future prospects, and if it ties itself to the sinking Russian and Chinese ships, it will hamper its future prospects.
We need to talk
Leave
the world will be divided in: america maffioso country, its buddy britain, some vassal countries and all major mafia gang from one side. the rest of the world, aka brics, the other side.
because the target of america maffioso country is to enslave, latin america style, all world, the brics have to stay alert: those america maffioso are capable of anything for the american coorporate benefit.
BRICS is hollow with no substance except in disinformation. 16% global trade and Russia a declining power the future is not bright
Warning: Catholic means UNIVERSAL Yeshua/Jesus is coming to bring division(The world vs those set apart, wheat vs tare, righteous according to Gods Word vs Modern Worldly Views). There is an “INTERFAITH UNIVERSAL RELIGION” movement happening and it is of demon control and not of The Most High Elohim. No other doctrine should be taught but that Yeshua is the Way, Truth and Life and noone can come unto Our Holy, Righteous Father God, El Shaddai, but through him, the mediator between man and God the sacrificial lamb/ son of man/Emmanuel. Seek repentance, seek righteousness, Thank and praise God for his grace and mercy daily! Renewed spirit renewed mind, be transformed and do not conform to this wicked world.
